This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application, U.S. Ser. No. 62/752,278, filed Oct. 29, 2018, entitled “Tetrahydropyran (THP)-Substituted Bicyclic-Pyrimidinedione Compounds,” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Genetic (heritable) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) comprises a group of highly penetrant, monogenic, autosomal dominant myocardial diseases. HCM is caused by one or more of over 1,000 known point mutations in any one of the structural protein genes contributing to the functional unit of myocardium, the sarcomere. About 1 in 500 individuals in the general population are found to have left ventricular hypertrophy unexplained by other known causes (e.g., hypertension or valvular disease), and many of these can be shown to have HCM, once other heritable (e.g., lysosomal storage diseases), metabolic, or infiltrative causes have been excluded.

Sarcomere gene mutations that cause HCM are highly penetrant, but there is wide variability in clinical severity and clinical course. Some genotypes are associated with a more malignant course, but there is considerable variability between and even within families carrying the same mutation. Sex differences have also been noted, with male patients generally more severely affected than female patients. While many patients with HCM report minimal or no symptoms for extended periods of time, HCM is a progressive disease with a significant cumulative burden of morbidity. Symptoms of effort intolerance predominate, and can be exacerbated by exercise and other maneuvers that increase heart rate and/or decrease preload. As with many other disorders, symptoms tend to worsen with age. By far the most prevalent clinical burden for patients with HCM is exertional dyspnea, which limits their activities of daily living and can be debilitating.

Patients with HCM are often symptomatic in the absence of documented hemodynamic abnormalities like left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (with or without mitral regurgitation). Patients' symptoms of exertional dyspnea can rapidly worsen with the onset of atrial fibrillation, a common complication of HCM that can precipitate acute pulmonary edema and increases the risk of systemic arterial thromboembolic disease, including stroke. Other adverse events associated with HCM include intolerance of hypovolemia or hypervolemia, and syncope. Concomitant coronary artery disease may confer a higher risk of acute coronary syndromes than in patients without HCM. Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with HCM is both uncommon and difficult to predict but is a leading cause of non-traumatic death in young adults. For survivors of SCD, ICD placement is standard practice, and in other HCM patients risk profiling, while imprecise, is used to identify those for whom ICD placement for primary prevention is deemed prudent.

Medical therapy for HCM is limited to the treatment of symptoms and does not address the fundamental, underlying cause of disease—disruptions in normal sarcomere function. Currently available therapies are variably effective in alleviating symptoms but typically show decreased efficacy with increasing disease duration. Patients are thus empirically managed with beta-blockers, non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and/or disopyramide. None of these agents carry labeled indications for treating HCM, and essentially no rigorous clinical trial evidence is available to guide their use. Compounding this unfortunate situation is the fact that no new medical therapies for HCM have been identified for many years. For patients with hemodynamically significant outflow tract obstruction (resting gradient >30 mmHg), in appropriately selected patients surgical myectomy or alcohol septal ablation is usually required to alleviate the hemodynamic obstruction. The present disclosure provides new therapeutic agents and methods that remedy the long-felt need for improved treatment of HCM and related cardiac disorders and/or diseases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A series of tetrahydropyran (THP)-substituted bicyclic pyrimidinedione compounds has been found to reduce excess contractility in hypercontractile states and/or promote cardiac relaxation in hearts with diastolic dysfunction. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that these compounds stabilize the conformation of beta cardiac myosin post-ATP hydrolysis but prior to strongly binding the actin filament and releasing phosphate, thus reducing the proportion of myosin molecules that are available to participate in the “powerstroke” portion of the muscle contraction cycle. As such, the compounds can improve cardiac elasticity, reduce dynamic and/or static left ventricular outflow obstruction, improve diastolic left ventricular relaxation, reduce left ventricular diastolic (filling) pressures, reduce functional mitral regurgitation, and/or reduce left atrial and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures in patients with HCM helping overcome the debilitating exertional dyspnea and/or symptoms referable to left ventricular outflow obstruction (presyncope or syncope) that often accompanies the disease. Preferred compounds of the disclosure have been optimally designed to have a relatively short half-life in humans. For instance, certain compounds of the disclosure are projected to have a half-life of less than 7 days (e.g., less than 5 days, less than 4 days) in humans. The compounds, described herein, have been designed to have a reduced occurrence of reactive metabolites upon testing, reduced dependence on polymorphic CYP enyzmes (such as CYP 2C19) and/or no or reduced risk of CYP induction (such as CYP3A4 induction). Some other benefits of compounds of the disclosure relate to selectivity of inhibition of cardiac myosin as compared to skeletal myosin and/or desirable time-course of effect intensity in response to administration of a drug dose. Furthermore, compounds of the disclosure have beneficial solubility, for example at pH 7.4 a micromolar solubility of over 50, such as over 70. In some cases, the compounds of the disclosure have a micromolar solubility of over 80, such as over 90. The compounds can also be used to treat other cardiac disorders.

The term “about” as used herein is used to describe a range (e.g., of temperatures, of mass, of weight) and is given its ordinary meaning in the art, typically referring to the error associated with an instrument to collect a measurement or reading. hi general, the term “about” when referring to temperature provides a deviation of ±0-2° C.

As used herein, the term “alkyl” refers to a straight or branched, saturated, aliphatic radical having the number of carbon atoms indicated. Alkyl can include any number of carbons, such as C₁₋₂, C₁₋₃, C₁₋₄, C₂₋₃, C₂₋₄ and C₃₋₄. For example, C₁₋₄ alkyl includes, but is not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl. In some instances, alkyl groups are optionally substituted. hi some instances, alkyl groups are unsubstituted. In some aspects, alkyl groups are substituted. Alkyl group substituents include, but are not limited to, any of the substituents described herein, that result in the formation of a stable moiety. hi certain aspects, the substituent may be one or more hydroxy group. hi some such cases, the alkyl group may also be referred to as a hydroxyalkyl group. As used herein, the term “hydroxyalkyl” refers to an alkyl group as provided above, wherein at least one hydrogen atom of the hydrocarbon portion is replaced by a hydroxy group (—OH). Accordingly, “hydroxyalkyl” refers to, for example, hydroxymethyl, 2-hydroxyethyl and 2-hydroxypropyl.

As used herein, the term “alkynyl” refers to an alkyl group that contains one or more triple bonds in the straight or branched aliphatic radical. The one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds can be internal (such as in 2-butynyl) or terminal (such as in 1-butynyl). Examples of alkynyl groups include, without limitation, ethynyl, 1-propynyl, 2-propynyl, 1-butynyl, 2-butynyl, and the like. Alkynyl groups may be substituted or unsubstituted.

As used herein, the term “cycloalkyl” refers to a saturated or partially unsaturated, monocyclic ring containing from 3 or 4 ring atoms, or the number of atoms indicated. Saturated monocyclic cycloalkyl rings include, for example, cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl. Cycloalkyl groups can also be partially unsaturated, having one or more double bonds in the ring. Representative cycloalkyl groups that are partially unsaturated include cyclobutene. Unless otherwise stated, cycloalkyl groups are unsubstituted.

As used herein, the term “alkoxy” refers to an alkyl group having an oxygen atom that connects the alkyl group to the point of attachment: i.e., alkyl-O—. As for the alkyl portions, alkoxy groups can have any suitable number of carbon atoms, such as C₁₋₂ or C₁₋₄. Alkoxy groups include, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, iso-propoxy, butoxy, 2-butoxy, iso-butoxy, sec-butoxy, tert-butoxy, etc. Alkoxy groups may be optionally substituted (unsubstituted or substituted).

As used herein, the terms “halo” and “halogen” refer to fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.

As used herein, the terms “haloalkyl” and “haloalkoxy” refers to the alkyl and alkoxy groups as provided above, wherein at least one hydrogen atom of the hydrocarbon portion is replaced by a halogen atom. Additionally, the terms can also refer to a per-halogenated form of alkyl and alkoxy. Accordingly, “haloalkyl” refers to, for example, fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, and chloromethyl. Similarly, “haloalkoxy” refers to, for example, difluoromethoxy, trifluoromethoxy, 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy, and chloromethoxy.

When a range of values is listed, it is intended to encompass each value and sub-range within the range. For example, “C₁₋₆ alkyl” is intended to encompass, C₁, C₂, C₃, C₄, C₅, C₆, C₁₋₆, C₁₋₅, C₁₋₄, C₁₋₃, C₁₋₂, C₂₋₆, C₂₋₅, C₂₋₄, C₂₋₃, C₃₋₆, C₃₋₅, C₃₋₄, C₄₋₆, C₄₋₅, and C₅₋₆ alkyl.

It will be appreciated that the above groups and/or compounds, as described herein, may be optionally substituted with any number of substituents or functional moieties. That is, any of the above groups may be optionally substituted. As used herein the term “optionally substituted” is contemplated to include unsubstituted variants and/or substituted variants (i.e., “optionally substituted” may be used interchangeably with “substituted or unsubstituted”). As used herein, the term “substituted” is contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds, “permissible” being in the context of the chemical rules of valence known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In general, the term “substituted” whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, and substituents contained in formulas of this disclosure, refer to the replacement of hydrogen radicals in a given structure with the radical of a specified substituent. When more than one position in any given structure may be substituted with more than one substituent selected from a specified group, the substituent may be either the same or different at every position. It will be understood that “substituted” also includes that the substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc. In some cases, “substituted” may generally refer to replacement of a hydrogen with a substituent as described herein. However, “substituted,” as used herein, does not encompass replacement and/or alteration of a key functional group by which a molecule is identified, e.g., such that the “substituted” functional group becomes, through substitution, a different functional group. For example, a “substituted phenyl group” must still comprise the phenyl moiety and cannot be modified by substitution, in this definition, to become, e.g., a pyridine ring. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. Illustrative substituents include, for example, those described herein. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this disclosure, the heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and/or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valences of the heteroatoms. Furthermore, this disclosure is not intended to be limited in any manner by the permissible substituents of organic compounds. The term “stable,” as used herein, preferably refers to compounds which possess stability sufficient to allow manufacture and which maintain the integrity of the compound for a sufficient period of time to be detected and preferably for a sufficient period of time to be useful for the purposes detailed herein.

Examples of substituents include, but are not limited to, halogen, azide, alkyl, aralkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, hydroxyl, alkoxyl, amino, nitro, sulfhydryl, imino, amido, phosphonate, phosphinate, carbonyl, carboxyl, silyl, ether, alkylthio, sulfonyl, sulfonamido, ketone, aldehyde, ester, heterocyclyl, aromatic or heteroaromatic moieties, —CF3, —CN, aryl, aryloxy, perhaloalkoxy, aralkoxy, heteroaryl, heteroaryloxy, heteroarylalkyl, heteroaralkoxy, azido, amino, halide, alkylthio, nitrido, acylalkyl, carboxy esters, -carboxamido, acyloxy, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoaryl, alkylaryl, alkylaminoalkyl, alkoxyaryl, arylamino, aralkylamino, alkylsulfonyl, -carboxamidoalkylaryl, -carboxamidoaryl, hydroxyalkyl, haloalkyl, alkylaminoalkylcarboxy-, aminocarboxamidoalkyl-, cyano, alkoxyalkyl, perhaloalkyl, arylalkyloxyalkyl, and the like.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. A pharmaceutically acceptable substance may be compatible with a compound of formula (I), as well as with any other ingredients with which the compound is formulated.

As used herein, the term “salt” refers to an acid or base salt of a compound of formula (I). Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be derived, for example, from mineral acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, and the like), organic acids (e.g., acetic acid, propionic acid, glutamic acid, citric acid and the like), and quaternary ammonium ions. It is understood that the pharmaceutically acceptable salts are non-toxic.

Certain aspects of the present compounds may contain one or more basic functional groups and, thus, are capable of forming pharmaceutically-acceptable salts with pharmaceutically-acceptable acids. In such cases, the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts may be relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic acid addition salts of compounds of the present disclosure. These salts can be prepared in situ in the administration vehicle or the dosage form manufacturing process, or by separately reacting a purified compound of the disclosure in its free base form with a suitable organic or inorganic acid, and isolating the salt thus formed during subsequent purification. Non-limiting examples of salts include the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, nitrate, acetate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, napthylate, mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactobionate, and laurylsulphonate salts and the like. (See, for example, Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19)

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds, described herein, include the nontoxic salts or quaternary ammonium salts of the compounds, e.g., from non-toxic organic or inorganic acids. For example, such nontoxic salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloride, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric, nitric, and the like; and the salts prepared from organic acids such as acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, stearic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, palmitic, maleic, hydroxymaleic, phenylacetic, glutamic, benzoic, salicyclic, sulfanilic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, fumaric, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, oxalic, isothionic, and the like.

In some cases, the compounds of the present disclosure may contain one or more acidic functional groups and, thus, are capable of forming pharmaceutically-acceptable salts with pharmaceutically-acceptable bases. In such cases, the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts may be relatively non-toxic, inorganic and organic base addition salts of compounds of the present disclosure. These salts can likewise be prepared in situ in the administration vehicle or the dosage form manufacturing process, or by separately reacting the purified compound in its free acid form with a suitable base, such as the hydroxide, carbonate or bicarbonate of a pharmaceutically-acceptable metal cation, with ammonia, or with a pharmaceutically-acceptable organic primary, secondary or tertiary amine.

The neutral form of a compound may be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound may differ from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents.

Certain compounds of the present disclosure possess asymmetric carbon atoms (chiral centers) or double bonds; the racemates, diastereomers, geometric isomers, regioisomers and individual isomers (e.g., separate enantiomers) are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. When a stereochemical depiction is shown, it is meant to refer to the compound in which one of the isomers is present and substantially free of other isomers. ‘Substantially free of’ other isomers indicates that at least about 80% of the disclosed isomer should be present, based on a molar amount of all isomeric forms of the disclosed isomer present, more preferably at least about 90%, such as about 95% or more. The depicted isomer may be present in an amount of at least about 99%. For example, when a disclosed isomer is provided in a pharmaceutical composition, the composition may comprise at least about 99% of said disclosed isomer in the pharmaceutical composition, based on a total molar amount of all isomeric forms of the disclosed compound present in the pharmaceutical composition (including the disclosed isomeric form and all other isomeric forms).

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a product comprising a mixture of the compound of formula (I) and one or more other chemical components. The pharmaceutical composition may comprise an excipient as defined herein, and/or other optional ingredients in specified amounts, as well as any product which results directly or indirectly from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.

As used herein, the term “excipient” refers to a substance that aids the administration of an active agent to a subject. Pharmaceutical excipients useful in the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, binders, fillers, disintegrants, lubricants, coatings, sweeteners, flavors and colors. One of skill in the art will recognize that other excipients can be useful in the present disclosure.

As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treating” and “treatment” refer to any indicia of success in the treatment or amelioration of a pathology, injury, condition, or symptom related to a disease or disorder (for example a cardiac disorder having a pathophysiological feature of HCM), including any objective or subjective parameter such as abatement; remission; diminishing of symptoms; making the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom more tolerable to the patient; or decreasing the frequency or duration of the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom. Treatment or amelioration can be based on any objective or subjective parameter; including, e.g., the result of a physical examination.

As used herein, the terms “prevent,” “preventing,” or “prevention” refers to a prophylactic treatment of a subject who does not and did not have a pathology, injury, condition, or symptom related to a disease or disorder (for example a cardiac disorder having a pathophysiological feature of HCM) but is at risk of developing the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom or who was with a pathology, injury, condition, or symptom, is not with the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom, but is at risk of regression of the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom. In certain aspects, the subject is at a higher risk of developing the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom or at a higher risk of regression of the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom than an average healthy member of a population. In some aspects, preventing refers to the prevention of the onset of the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom.

An “effective amount” or a “pharmaceutically effective amount” is an amount sufficient to accomplish a stated purpose (e.g. achieve the effect for which it is administered, treat a disease, reduce enzyme activity, reduce one or more symptoms of a disease or condition, reduce viral replication in a cell). An example of an “effective amount” is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, or reduction of a symptom or symptoms of a disease, which could also be referred to as a “therapeutically effective amount.” A “reduction” of a symptom or symptoms (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) means decreasing of the severity or frequency of the symptom(s), or elimination of the symptom(s).

A “subject” to which administration is contemplated refers to a human (i.e., male or female of any age group, e.g., pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, or adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or senior adult)) or non-human animal. A “patient” refers to a human subject in need of treatment of a disease.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is identified clinically as unexplained left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in the absence of known causes such as pressure overload, systemic diseases, or infiltrative processes. One phenotypic hallmark of HCM is myocardial hypercontractility accompanied by reduced LV compliance, reflected clinically as reduced ventricular chamber size, often supranormal ejection fraction, increased wall thickness, and diastolic dysfunction. Some of the symptoms and signs that HCM patients have include, but are not limited to, shortness of breath (especially during exercise), chest pain (especially during exercise), fainting (especially during or just after exercise), sensation of rapid, fluttering or pounding heartbeats, and heart murmur.

Obstructive HCM (oHCM), also known as hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), refers to HCM in the presence of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOT).

Non-obstructive HCM (nHCM) refers to HCM without outflow tract obstruction at rest or upon provocation.

Heart failure refers to a clinical syndrome that a patient's heart is unable to provide an adequate supply of blood to the body. For some people with heart failure, the heart has difficulty pumping enough blood to support other organs in the body. For others, they may have a hardening and stiffening of the heart muscle itself, which blocks or reduces blood flow to the heart. Heart failure can affect the right or left side of the heart, or both at the same time. It can be either an acute (short-term) or chronic (ongoing) condition. Symptoms of heart failure include, but are not limited to, excessive fatigue, sudden weight gain, a loss of appetite, persistent coughing, irregular pulse, heart palpitations, abdominal swelling, shortness of breath, leg and ankle swelling, protruding neck veins and edema.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), also called diastolic heart failure or diastolic failure refers to heart failure when the heart's ejection fraction is normal (e.g., equal to or greater than 50 percent). Often, heart muscle contracts normally but the ventricles do not relax as they should during ventricular filling, leading to reduced stroke volume.

Stable Diastolic Heart Failure refers to patients with disastolic heart failure who are not having an acute worsening of symptoms. These patients have impaired diastolic function, wherein symptoms can be controlled or stabilized using available therapies.

Diastolic dysfunction refers to abnormal diastole function. Abnormal diastolic function includes impaired left ventricle relaxation, filling, diastolic distensibility, or stiffness. These traits can be measured using echocardiography. Further determining factors for diagnosing diastolic dysfunction using echocardiography are described in J Am Soc Echocardiogr. 29(4):277-314 (2016), the contents of which are incorporated by reference. Left ventricle stiffness can be measured by cardiac magnetic resonance. Cardiac magnetic resonance is used to determine peak filling rate, time to peak filling, and peak diastolic strain rate. Subjects with diastolic dysfunction may also display increased levels of biomarkers in the blood. For example, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) are present at elevated levels in the blood of individuals with diastolic dysfunction.

Diastolic dysfunction is present or an important feature of a series of diseases including, but not limited to, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)—including both disorders of active relaxation and disorders of chamber stiffness (e.g., diabetic HFpEF); ischemic cardiomyopathy, cardiac transplant allograft vasculopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy (e.g., genetic mutations in one or more sarcomeric protein), inflammatory cardiomyopathy (e.g., Loefllers and EMF), infiltrative cardiomyopathy (e.g., amyloid, sarcoid and XRT), storage diseases (e.g., hemochromatosis, Fabry and glycogen storage disease, congenital heart disease (e.g., pressure-overloaded RV, Tetrology of Fallot (e.g., diastolic dysfunction pre-op and early post-op), and valvular heart disease (e.g., aortic stenosis).

Class I HCM refers to HCM which is Class I according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA).

Class II-III nHCM Refers to nHCM which is Class II or Class III according to the NYHA

Class II-III oHCM Refers to oHCM which is Class II or Class III according to the NYHA

NYHA Class I refers to a classification wherein a patient or subject has no limitation of physical activity and ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath).

NYHA Class II refers to a classification wherein a patient or subject has slight limitation of physical activity, is comfortable at rest, and ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath).

NYHA Class III refers to a classification wherein a patient or subject has marked limitation of physical activity, is comfortable at rest, and less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea.

NYHA Class IV refers to a classification wherein a patient or subject is unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort with symptoms of heart failure at rest, and if any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort increases

As used herein “Valsalva gradient” refers to the pressure gradient across LVOT in an individual while this individual is performing a Valsalva maneuver.

Example 2 Single Crystal X-Ray Analysis—Form 1

SXRD analysis was conducted on an Agilent Technologies (Dual Source) SuperNova diffractometer using monochromated Cu Kα (λ1.54178 Å) radiation generated by sealed tube. The diffractometer was fitted with an Oxford Cryosystems low temperature device to enable data collection to be performed at 120(1) K and the crystal encased in a protective layer of Paratone oil. The data collected were corrected for absorption effects based on Gaussian integration over a multifaceted crystal model, implemented as a part of the CrysAlisPro software package (Agilent Technologies, 2014).

The structure was solved by direct methods (SHELXS97)¹ and developed by full least squares refinement on F² (SHELXL97)¹ interfaced via the OLEX2 software package (see FIG. 4). Images produced were done so via OLEX2.² Data was collected, solved and refined in the orthorhombic space-group P2₁2₁2₁ and a search for higher metric symmetry using the ADDSYMM³ routine of PLATON⁴ but failed to uncover any higher order symmetry. All non-hydrogen atoms were located in the Fourier map and their positions refined prior to describing their thermal movement of all non-hydrogen atoms anisotropically. Within the structure, one, complete molecule of 3 (also referred to as a compound of Example 3) was located in the asymmetric unit only. Due to the weak diffraction data obtained, the Flack parameter could be calculated to −0.0657 with esd of 0.7497 (calculated from 1477 Bijovet pairs with 97.6% completeness). Attempts to refine the structure using TWIN and BASF commands did not yield further improvements. All hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions using a riding model with fixed Uiso at 1.2 times for all CH, CH₂ and NH groups, and 1.5 times for all CH₃ groups. The highest residual Fourier peak was found to be 1.34 e·Å⁻³ approx 0.68 Å from C(16) and the deepest Fourier hole was found to be −0.89 e·Å⁻³ approx 0.58 Å from 0(2).

Biological Examples

Compounds were profiled by assessing their physicochemical properties, biochemical activities, cell-based activities, selectivity profiles, pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles, pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles, and safety profiles in various in vitro and in vivo assays, including but not limited to myosin ATPase assays (bovine cardiac myobril system (bcMF) with/without serum and rabbit skeletal myobril system (rbskMF), cardiomyocyte contractility and reactive metabolite identification.

Compounds with a reduced half-life were selected to enable a potentially more rapid dose adjustment, since a shorter half-life allows a faster time to get to steady-state exposures. Removal, or minimization, of dependence on polymorphic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, such as CYP2C19, for the metabolic clearance of the drug candidates provided a potential advantage for reduced human PK variability that may occur for instance between poor and rapid drug metabolizers. Removal, or minimization, of potent CYP enzyme induction properties of a new drug candidates provided an advantage to avoid potential for drug-drug interactions. Increased selectivity of the drug candidate for cardiac myosin over skeletal myosin had a benefit for desired human pharmacokinetics related to myosin modulator drug distribution. Myosin modulator candidate drugs with decreased potency toward skeletal myosin were predicted to distribute less into skeletal muscle tissue, due to lower drug binding to skeletal myosin, leading to decreased volume of distribution and therefore decreased half-life in human. Preclinical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics studies were performed to optimize the selection compounds with that may allow oral dosing with reduced risk of drug-induced liver toxicity.

KS Solubility Assay

Small molecule agents were assessed for their kinetic solubility in PBS at pH7.4 at rt using Reserpine (kinetic solubility <15 μM in PBS at 7.4) as a negative control and Verapamil (kinetic solubility >200 μM in PBS at 7.4) as a positive control. 2 μL of the 20 mM DMSO stock solution of a compound was added into a well in a 96-well plate, followed by adding 198 μL of PBS at rt. After shaking at room temperature for 1.5 h, the mixture was filtered under vacuum through a 96-well filter plate, which was pre-washed with 100 μL of 70% ethanol per well. Subsequently, 70 μL of the filtrate was added into a well in a 96-well reading plate, which was pre-loaded with 70 μL of DMSO per well. The concentration of the sample in a well was determined on the basis of the interagration on LC with UV detection as compared to the standard curve of each compound established in DMSO.

Myosin Inhibition Assay (bcMF pCa 6 IC₅₀ (μM))

Small molecule agents were assessed for their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of bovine cardiac myosin using a biochemical assay that couples the release of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) from cardiac myosin to an enzymatic coupling system consisting of pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase (PK/LDH) and monitoring the absorbance decrease of NADH (at 340 nm) as a function of time. PK converts ADP to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) by converting PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) to pyruvate. Pyruvate is then converted to lactate by LDH by converting NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) to NAD (oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). The source of cardiac myosin was from bovine heart in the form of skinned myofibrils. Prior to testing small molecule agents, the bovine myofibrils were assessed for their calcium responsiveness and the calcium concentration that achieves a 50% activation of the myofibril system was chosen as the final condition for assessing the inhibitory activity of the small molecule agents. All enzymatic activity was measured in a buffered solution containing 12 mM PIPES (piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid), 2 mM magnesium chloride at pH 6.8 (PM12 buffer). Final assay conditions were 1 mg/mL of bovine cardiac myofibrils, 0.4 mM PK/LDH, 50 uM ATP, 0.1 mg/mL BSA (bovine serum albumin), 10 ppm antifoam, 2 mM BME, 0.5 mM NADH, and 1.5 mM PEP at the desired free calcium concentration required to achieve 50% activation of the myofibrils.

A dilution series of compound was created in DMSO such that the final desired concentration of compound would be achieved in a volume of 30 μL with a fixed DMSO concentration of 3.3% (v/v). Typically 1 μL of the dilution series were added to 384 well plate to achieve a 10 point dose response. Following the addition of 14 μL of a solution containing bovine cardiac myofibrils, PK/LDH and a solution of calcium (that achieved 50% activation), the enzymatic reaction was started with the addition of 15 μL of a solution containing ATP, PEP and NADH. The reaction progress was followed in a PerkinElmer Envision plate reader at ambient temperature using clear bottom plates. The plate reader was configured to read absorbance at 340 nm in kinetics mode for 15 minutes. Data were recorded as the slope of the absorbance response to time. The slopes of the absorbance response as a function of time were normalized to slopes on the plate containing DMSO. This normalized rate was then plotted as a function of small molecule concentration and the data was fitted to a four-parameter fit using EXCEL XLfit. The IC₅₀ is the concentration at which fifty percent of the total response is inhibited. Any agent that failed to achieve a fifty percent inhibition at the highest concentration tested was reported as an IC₅₀ greater than the highest concentration tested (ie. IC₅₀>50 μM).

Myosin Inhibition Assay (bcMF Serum pCa 6 IC₅₀ (μM))

Inhibition of the enzymatic activity of bovine cardiac myosin associated with the release of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) at the calcium concentrate that achieves a 50% activation of the bovine cardiac myofibril system in the presence of 10% human serum. The procedure was the same as that bovin cardiac myosin inhibition assay (bcMF pCa 6 IC₅O (μM)) but with the addition of 10% human serum.

Myosin Inhibition Assay (rbskMF pCa 6 IC₅₀ (μM))

Inhibition of the enzymatic activity of rabbit skeletal myosin associated with the release of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) at the calcium concentrate that achieves a 50% activation of the rabbit skeletal myofibril system. The procedure was the same as that of bovin cardiac myosin inhibition assay (bcMF pCa 6 IC₅₀ (μM)) by replacing bovine cardiac myofibril with rabbit skeletal myofibril.

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) Relationship

The ability of small molecules to dose-dependently modulate systolic cardiac performance was assessed non-invasively using echocardiography in isoflurane-anesthetized SD rats. First, cardiac function/geometry were studied serially both before and during (˜every 3 min) a continuous 30-60 mM intravenous infusions (2.0 mg/kg/hr IV, n=4). Subsequently, a set of conscious rats were also treated with either vehicle control (0 mg/kg PO, n=3) or three dose-levels of compound 3 via oral gavage: LOW (2 mg/kg PO, n=4), MID (5 mg/kg PO, n=4), or HIGH (10 mg/kg PO, n=5). In these animals, cardiac function/geometry were recorded at two separate time-points/days under isoflurane anesthesia: once prior to dosing (i.e., at baseline, day −2) and at 2 hrs post-dosing (day 0), a time when exposures are known to approach steady-state and peak responses are expected. In these experiments, left-ventricular fractional shortening (FS), an index of systolic performance, as well as LV dimensions/volumes and heart rates were measured using a high-frequency transducer and parasternal long-axis transthoracic views (Vevo2100, VisualSonic). FS was defined as the end-diastole normalized change in internal dimensions/diameter of the left ventricle between end-systole (LVESd) and end-diastole (LVEDd) (i.e., FS=100×[LVEDd−LVESd]/LVEDd). LV volumes were derived assuming a Teichholz model (LVV=7×[2.4+LVid]⁻¹×LVid³). In all cases, blood samples were taken (via tail-vein micro-sampling) at the time of each echocardiographic examination in order to establish pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) relationships.

Cardiomyocyte Contractility Assay

Contractility of adult rat ventricular myocytes is determined by edge detection with an IonOptix contractility system. Aliquots of myocytes in Tyrode buffer (137 mM NaCl, 3.7 mM KCL, 0.5 mM MgCl₂, 1.5 mM CaCl₂, 4 mM HEPES, 11 mM glucose) are placed in a perfusion chamber (Series 20 RC-27NE; Warner Instruments), allowed to adhere to the coverslip, and then perfused with 37° C. Tyrode buffer. Myocytes are filed stimulated at 1 Hz and 10V. Only myocytes with clear striations, quiescent prior to pacing, with a cell length of 120-180 microns, a basal fractional shortening equal to 3-8% of the cell length, and a contraction velocity greater than 100 microns per second are used for contractility experiments. To determine the response to compounds (at 0.3 μM concentration), myocytes are first perfused for 60 seconds with Tyrodes buffer followed by 5 mM of compound and a 140 second washout with Tyrodes buffer. Data is continuously recorded using IonOptix software. Contractility data is analyzed using Ionwizard software (IonOptix). For each cell, 10-20 contractility transients were averaged and compared under basal (no compound) and compound-treated conditions. Compound activity is measured by effects on fractional shortening (FS), where fractional shortening is the ratio of the peak length of the cell at contraction divided by the basal cell length normalized to 100% for an untreated cell. The % inhibition measurement is calculated by subtracting the FS value from 100%.

Reactive Metabolite Identification

In vitro determination of reactive metabolite formation for small molecules by detection of glutathione adducts formed in vitro in incubations with human liver microsomes fortified with NADPH and glutathione.

Methods: The metabolism of small molecules (30 μM) for glutathione adduct formation was assessed in incubations (200 μL volume, n=3 incubations per treatment, 60 mM incubation time) with liver microsomes from human (1 mg/mL protein) conducted in potassium phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.4) for 1 h at 37° C. in a 96-well plate (2 mL well volume) and were performed in the absence of NADPH (used as a negative control) and in the presence of NADPH (1 mM) and glutathione (GSH, 10 mM). Incubations with liver microsomes were performed in a shaking water bath incubator with slow horizontal shaking (30 rpm). To obtain 30 μM incubation concentration of a compound, a 3 mM substrate stock solution in DMSO was used. Final incubation mixtures contained 148 μL of potassium phosphate buffer, 10 μL of liver microsome solution (20 mg protein/mL), 2 μL of the 3 mM substrate solution and where incubations were initiated by the addition of 40 μL of NADPH solution (5 mM dissolved in potassium phosphate buffer). Non-NADPH containing incubations were supplemented with 40 μL of potassium phosphate buffer. Post-incubation, reactions were terminated by adding an equal volume of acetonitrile containing 20 nM carbamazepine internal standard and 3% formic acid. Quenched samples then were centrifuged (4,600 rpm, 4° C., 10-min) after which the supernatants were transferred to a 96-well LC-MS sample analysis plate and diluted with one volume equivalent of HPLC-grade water, and then heat sealed with aluminum foil prior to analysis by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Analyte identification: The LC-MS/MS detection (with in-line UV detection at 280 nm) of test compounds and potential GSH-adducts was focused on extracting selected ion chromatographic profiles using the protonated molecular ion MH⁺ m/z for parent to 4 decimal places, and corresponding protonated molecular ions of predicted GSH-adduct metabolites (m/z MH⁺ parent+305.0681 amu) using Xcalibur software (version 2.1.0, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.). Relative GSH-adduct abundance in vitro in liver microsome extracts was assessed using the LC/UV absorbance at 280 nm peak area ratio obtained by using Xcalibur software (version 2.1.0) between the detected GSH-adducts from NADPH- and GSH-fortified incubation extracts and the corresponding LC/UV peak area of the parent compound from minus NADPH containing incubation extracts. The extent of GSH-adduct formation was determined by LC-MS/MS analysis with in-line LC-UV detection at 280 nm by dividing the glutathione-adduct LC/UV peak area by the LC/UV peak area of the corresponding parent HCM-1 NG analog determined from analysis of control (-NAPDH, -GSH) incubations extracts.

Materials: Pooled male human (HLM, 50 donors) liver microsomes were obtained from Bioreclamation IVT (Baltimore, Md.). Glutathione (GSH) and NADPH were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, Mo.). All solvents used for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses were of chromatographic grade.

LC-MS Conditions: Extracts from incubations with liver microsomes and hepatocytes were characterized by LC-MS and LC-MS/MS on a Thermo Electron LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer coupled with a Dionex UltiMate 3000 UHPLC containing in-line diode array detection and an OAS-3300TXRS Autosampler (40 μL injection volume). Electrospray ionization (ESI) was employed in the positive ion mode with the needle potential held at 5.01 kV, a sheath flow rate of 35.02, aux flow rate of 9.99, a current of 2.6 uA, a capillary temperature of 325° C., and a capillary voltage of 15.99. Vacuum conditions used were an ion gauge pressure used was 2.33×10⁻⁵ Torr and a convection gauge pressure of 0.90 Torr. Positive ion mode full scan (m/z 100 to m/z 1000) LC-MS analysis was conducted with a scan time of 0.73-sec and source collision energy of 10 V. The tandem MS/MS conditions used were 2 mTorr helium collision gas and a collision potential of 35 eV. Xcalibur software (version 2.1.0, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) was used to acquire all data.

Data dependent scans were utilized that collected MS/MS spectra of the most abundant masses in the Orbitrap (15,000 resolving power) full scan mass spectrum.

HPLC conditions: Incubation extracts were chromatographed on a Phenomenex Kinetex®, 2.6 μm, C18, 100 Å, 100×2.1 mm reverse phase column with a column oven temperature of 30° C. for the chromatographic resolution of HCM-1 NG compounds and corresponding glutathione adducts. Chromatographic resolution was achieved by reverse phase gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min into the ESI source over 30 min, and where the gradient aqueous mobile phase solvent-A consisted of water with 0.1% formic acid (v/v) and the organic mobile phase (solvent-B) contained acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid (v/v). Elution was achieved by an initial aqueous solvent-A mobile phase at 95% with a linear decrease to 50% solvent-A over 20 min, followed by linear decrease to 0% solvent-A over 3.5 min, and held constant at 0% solvent-A for 1 min. Finally, a linear increase of the gradient to 95% solvent-A over 0.5 min, followed by 5 min of equilibration at 95% solvent-A prior to further analyses.

As demonstrated above, these compounds showed minimal or no development of reactive metabolites.

X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD)

XRPD analysis was carried out on a PANalytical X'pert pro, scanning the samples between 3 and 35° 2θ. The material was gently ground to release any agglomerates and loaded onto a multi-well plate with Kapton or Mylar polymer film to support the sample. The multi-well plate was then placed into the diffractometer and analyzed using Cu K radiation (α₁λ=1.54060 Å; α₂=1.54443 Å; β=1.39225 Å; α₁:α₂ ratio=0.5) running in transmission mode (step size 0.0130° 2θ) using 40 kV/40 mA generator settings.

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)

Approximately, 5 mg of material was weighed into an open aluminum pan and loaded into a simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyzer (TG/DTA) and held at room temperature. The sample was then heated at a rate of 10° C./min from 20° C. to 400° C. during which time the change in sample weight was recorded along with any differential thermal events (DTA). Nitrogen was used as the purge gas, at a flow rate of 300 cm³/min.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

Approximately, 5 mg of material was weighed into an aluminum DSC pan and sealed non-hermetically with a pierced aluminum lid. The sample pan was then loaded into a Seiko DSC6200 (equipped with a cooler) cooled and held at 20° C. Once a stable heat-flow response was obtained, the sample and reference were heated to max 330° C. at scan rate of 10° C./min and the resulting heat flow response monitored. Nitrogen was used as the purge gas, at a flow rate of 50 cm³/min. Modulated DSC was carried with amplitude=0.32° C. and frequency=0.017 Hz.
